The Braves announced this morning that Hall of Famer Hank Aaron required partial left hip surgery last night after he fell on some ice.

Aaron, who just turned 80 years old earlier this month, is expected to make a full recovery. In fact, he should to be back to his normal routine within 6-8 weeks. Good news under the circumstances.

The Braves recently announced that they plan to wear a commemorative “715” patch this season to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Aaron breaking MLB’s home run record. “Hammerin’ Hank” is scheduled to be honored during an on-field ceremony at Turner Field for the team’s home opener on April 8. Here’s hoping he’s back to 100 percent by then.

The White Sox won’t make a bid for free agent outfielder Bryce Harper, Bruce Levine of 670 The Score reports. Believed to be the favorites to land shortstop Manny Machado in free agency, the White Sox watched him ink a 10-year, $300 million contract with the Padres. The club is apparently content with its roster otherwise.

Last season, Harper hit .249/.393/.496 with 34 hom eruns, 100 RBI, 103 runs scored, and 13 stolen bases in 695 plate appearances. He led all of baseball, drawing 130 walks. Harper is also a six-time All-Star who won the 2012 NL Rookie of the Year Award and the 2015 NL Most Valuable Player Award.
